Letter to the editor: It's 'Spy vs. Spy' all over again

This whole escapade over NSA's surveillance of who they were spying on reminds me of Mad Magazine's "Spy vs. Spy" cartoons. Both spy on each other, trying to booby-trap the other to disrupt their spying, all for the purpose of outwitting each other.

It's just like what Paul Pillar, a former senior intelligence officer, said: "Not only do allies spy on each other all the time, allies know about it all the time." It's Mad Magazine relived in the 21st century.
